We went to Leong's Legends for my 30th birthday meal as we wanted to have some Dim Sum.

Having eaten here once before we knew what to expect - and this is our favourite restaurant in Chinatown.

We were seated at a table in the window after only a 10 minute wait, despite having no booking, and our order was taken promptly by lovely, friendly staff.

Our Dim Sum arrived quickly, and the food was piping hot - we had to actually wait for it to cool down!

Vegetarian dumplings were just the right consistency - doughy, chewy wrappers and a tangy, slightly sweet and spicy filling. Deep fried turnip was gooey and delicious as always. The chicken in soy sauce and rice wine was spicy, sweet and moreish, and this is one which we would love the recipe for!

We shared 6 dishes with extra rice, a bottle of wine and the bill came to a very reasonable £40 for two.

Delicious food, friendly staff, an authentic and cosy atmosphere and value for money make this one of the best places to eat in Chinatown, if not in London! We'll be back ! (This week actually......)

I really liked the food at Leongs Legends.
It was delicious and nourishing.
As for dessert, try the mango pudding! It's just amazing!
I liked their tiger coffee very much too.
Service was okay, tho could have been a lil friendlier.

I am Taiwanese and I'd love to see more GENUINE Taiwanese restaurants in London. Modern Taiwanese food is not only tasty but also healthier(less salt & oil used, for example). I and my friends have just been to Leong's Legends last month. Their “Siu Loung Bao(soup dumpling)” was indeed very good but the ginger in the soy sauce should be chopped much finer. Their “Sticky Rice with Shredded Pork” was not bad. On the other hand, “Diced Beef with Garlic Slices” was too dry. The natural flavor of beef was covered up by the spices and eventually none existent.We also tried Steamed Bamboo Rice which was made in Cantonese style rather than Taiwanese and tragically far too wet. “Yen Sue Jee (Deep Fried Chicken)” - arguably the most typical Taiwanese snack in night markets - was not at all Taiwanese! The size of the diced chicken, the seasoning, the color of the batter and its side dish were all misleading. Please do try it when you visit Taiwan! “Leong's Legends” actually refers to a CHINESE novel, “Water Margin”, which was written in 12th century. No wonder both its décor and much of the food are CHINESE, as the name of the restaurant already suggests.
